Week 45 Day 1: Renew and Transform ⇧ ⇩
Question
What areas of my life need to be renewed?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Those who reconnect with God would have a life different from their former way of life. This is because the old self is corrupted by deceitful desires, but the new self is created to be like God.
-
We are children of light in the Lord and shall live in the light (goodness, righteousness, and truth) as well as to find out what pleases the Lord.
Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - The Bible teaches us that connecting with God brings out a renewed life. Have I recently experienced a transformation of my life brought about by my renewed heart? We are often motivated by the decision to change and experience the joy of change. However, we sometimes forget the change and go back to business as usual. It is a long process to transform to the new life. How should I build a regular habit of devotion, immersion in God’s word and His light to truly transform my life to have a God like character?

Week 45 Day 2: Wining the War ⇧ ⇩
Question
How should Christians face the spiritual wars?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Christians face many kinds of wars in their lives from earthly authorities, the spiritual forces of evil, and their own desires.
-
God gave every Christians a full armor that is sufficient to win any war, to stand up to anything, and that God’s will may be accomplished through us.
-
To win in the spiritual wars, we need to rely on God’s power and pray often for ourselves as well as all Christians.
Meditation: My Story
-
Walking with God - Let me read in depth this passage: The full armor for the spiritual war begins with dependence on His mighty power and completes with praying by the power of the Spirit at all time with all kinds of prayers. This emphasized the importance of reliance on God’s power for the spiritual war.
-
Integrity - It is undeniable that we are facing wars in our life. What God has built up in us reflects in our reactions toward these wars. When our characters are more like God, we become more capable to face these wars in accordance to His will and liking. Thus, God can be glorified through His disciples. Let me pray to God to equip me with all His armors: truth, righteousness, good news of peace, faith, salvation, God’s word.
-
Fidelity - To be a warrior of Christ, my service must go past benefiting myself. Pray to God to help me to serve in: 1. Prayer and support to all Christians; 2. All areas of society and culture not yet following God.

How should Christians live?
Scripture Reading

-
Christians shall live in a way that’s worthy of the gospel of Christ. Stand firm in the one Spirit and striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.
-
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
-

Question
What are the characteristics of a Christian’s identity?

Meditation: My Story
-
Identity - How does it help me, knowing that I belong to the Kingdom of God and waiting for Christ’s coming at any time? Where and how am I placing my hope, in the material world of today, or in the eternal transformation of my life?
-
Integrity - We are not being complacent because of the promises we’ve already gotten from God. Paul said it clearly, forget what’s behind but push hard toward what’s ahead toward the goal to win the prize that God had already promised.

-
Fidelity - Paul was content in any and every situation. Am I content when facing difficulties in my service? Why am I content or not content?
